A body found in Auckland's Muriwai area is believed to be that of a man who had not been seen for about three weeks.
Police said a member of the public found the body on Wednesday night.
While a formal identification was yet to be completed, it was believed to be the body of 32-year-old Jesse Johnson, who travelled to Tāmaki Makaurau from Hamilton earlier this month.
It was believed he was last seen in Muriwai on 6 December and his family reported him missing on 24 December.
Police said his death was not being treated as suspicious and had been referred to the Coroner.
